In many industries—such as manufacturing, construction, food processing, logistics, and glass handling—hand injuries caused by sharp objects are among the most common workplace hazards. Cut-resistant gloves are designed specifically to reduce these risks, helping protect workers while maintaining comfort, dexterity, and productivity. But what exactly is a cut-resistant glove, and how does it work?
A cut-resistant glove is a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) engineered to protect hands from cuts, slashes, and abrasions caused by sharp tools, blades, metal edges, glass, or other hazardous materials. Unlike ordinary work gloves, cut-resistant gloves are made from high-performance fibers or reinforced materials that can withstand cutting forces.
These gloves are commonly used in environments where workers regularly handle sharp or rough objects, such as sheet metal, knives, broken glass, or machinery components.
Cut-resistant gloves work by combining strong materials, advanced weaving techniques, and protective coatings to reduce the impact of sharp edges on the skin.
The core protection comes from specialized fibers such as:
HPPE (High-Performance Polyethylene)
Aramid fibers (such as Kevlar®-type materials)
Steel or fiberglass blends
These fibers are extremely strong relative to their weight and resist being sliced or torn when contacted by sharp objects.
Cut-resistant gloves are often tightly knitted or layered to distribute cutting force across a wider surface area. This makes it harder for a blade or sharp edge to penetrate through the material and reach the skin.
Many cut-resistant gloves feature palm or finger coatings made of materials like polyurethane (PU), nitrile, or latex. These coatings help improve grip, enhance abrasion resistance, and extend glove durability without reducing flexibility.
Cut-resistant gloves are tested and rated according to international standards such as ANSI/ISEA and EN388. These ratings indicate the glove's resistance level and help ensure the product meets specific safety performance requirements.
LITA Safety focuses on delivering high-quality cut-resistant gloves that meet international safety standards and perform reliably in demanding work environments. Designed with both protection and comfort in mind, LITA Safety gloves support safer, more efficient operations across a wide range of industries.
